Frampton set for Warrington fight after dominant Windsor Park win

19 August 2018 00:46

Carl Frampton will take on IBF featherweight champion Josh Warrington after defeating Luke Jackson by technical knockout at Windsor Park.

A dominant performance against Jackson capped a dream night for Frampton in front of a home crowd, his interim WBO title retained as the fight was stopped in the ninth round after the visiting fighter stumbled under the weight of the Northern Irishman's punches.

But Frampton already has another fight to set his sights on, with Warrington ringside and as keen as the 31-year-old to make the bout happen before the end of the year.

Frank Warren, managing both fighters and fresh from sealing Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury, told BT Sport: "We're gonna make the dream fight. Definitely this year - it is on."
